Warning!
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.

the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest
in an excessively reclined position as
this can be dangerous. You could slide under
the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under
it, the seat belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could cause serious

belts provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a position that is as upright as
possible and seat belts are properly
positioned on the body.

Adjust
the seat backrest until your arms are
slightly angled when holding the steering
wheel.

Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possible
with the driver still able to operate the
controls properly.

close to the head as possible. The center of
the head restraint must support the back of
the head at eye level.
